Many more Americans filed new unemployment claims last week than during the previous week, as a resurgence in COVID-19 cases heading into the winter led to more business-constraining social distancing restrictions and pushed more people out of work.

The Department of Labor released its weekly report on new jobless claims Thursday morning at 8:30 a.m. ET. Here were the main results in the report, compared to consensus estimates compiled by Bloomberg:

• Initial jobless claims, week ended Dec. 5: 853,000 vs. 725,000 expected and 712,000 during the prior week

• Continuing claims, week ended Nov. 28: 5.757 million vs. 5.21 million expected and 5.552 million during the prior week
